ENROLLMENT

Enrollment

1. Attend an Open House or Schedule a One-on-One Interview with Thorne’s Program DirectorWe encourage all interested families to REGISTER to attend an Open House event or skip ahead to schedule a One-on-One Interview with Thorne’s Program Director (see below for more info), as soon as possible. This registration will also act as a free, no-risk, pre-application opportunity to guarantee your space in line, should you choose to apply to our school.

The Open House events will meet at East Boulder Community Center and will be an opportunity to meet staff, learn about the program, and experience our new Nature Preschool Outdoor Classroom. Thorne will provide engaging, nature play programming for your child/ren in the same location. Due to childcare programs occurring at the Center during these hours, we will not tour the indoor facility, but we will have photos available.

2. Submit an Application

After the Open House, if you feel that Thorne Nature Preschool is the right fit for your child and your family, the next step is to submit an application to enter our applicant pool. Applications will be available at the Open House events or can be sent via email or mail.

3. Interview with Thorne’s Program Director

Upon receipt of your application or registration for a one-on-one interview, Thorne Nature Preschool will contact you to schedule a time to meet that is convenient for you to meet Thorne’s Program Director. This will start the journey of getting to know each other. Every applicant must participate in an interview.

Interviews will happen at Thorne Nature Experience with Erin Saunders, Thorne’s Program Director. Children are welcome, but there won’t be separate childcare provided.

4. Submit Enrollment forms and depositAfter your interview, you can enroll your child in Thorne Nature Preschool, by completing your enrollment packet and paying your deposit. In addition, we require your child’s health and immunization records for enrollment. Providing your enrollment forms with the enrollment deposit will reserve a space for your child. To enroll, families must return their enrollment packet and the required deposit within 10 business days of receiving the admissions offer.
